The actor took to Twitter to share that she will join the BFC in supporting the organisation’s efforts to use fashion as a positive platform to inspire future generations.

“Through my role, I look forward to celebrating the incredible diversity and creativity of the industry, while working to champion budding and iconic designers doing their part to make an indelible impact on people and our planet,” Chopra said in a statement.
As BFC ambassador, Chopra will support the organisation through raising awareness and promoting best practice within the fashion industry, celebrating those that adhere to inclusive and ethical principles and act as a spokesperson for the importance of creative education, a press release issued on behalf of the actor said.
Caroline Rush, Chief Executive, BFC, said they are delighted to have Chopra on board.
“Her work as a social activist, promoting causes such as the environment and women’s rights, and her commitment to using her reach for good are what have made her one of the industry’s most courageous voices and the perfect choice as the BFC Ambassador for Positive Change,” Rush said.
Rush said they are looking forward to working with Chopra over the next twelve months.
